Whether it's insured or not is beside the point. In a civil case, the jury could award compensation on whatever basis they choose, though it would probably be based on past prices paid for the work, as well as the value of comparable pieces of art by the artist. Mr A might well have been given the work as a gift by the artist, or even drawn it himself. In that case, it is even more likely that the descendants will want the actual painting, and no material compensation. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, September 1 2005 01:11 Profile Homepage #18 Google Earth will give you your lat/long coordinates if you can find your city on a satellite picture. Admittedly, finding them exactly is a tedious process (depending on photo quality) - I spent one afternoon pinpointing all the places I've lived and storing the coordinates, so now I have them handy. MapQuest can also be of help, but it's a lot more tedious (it works one-way only: you guess the coordinates, see by how much you're off, and adjust your guess till you're there) I didn't find an online map with an actual lat/long grid, but a world atlas would help. -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, August 31 2005 13:13 Profile Homepage #223 OOC: Getting stoned by a basilisk must cause one heck of a hangover. IC: He missed the lung. Melora felt an arc of lightning travel down her spine as she fell forward, managing to throw off her attacker at the same time. She remained on the ground for a fraction of a second, then jumped back up, neatly escaping another slash from her assaultant. The knife had almost pierced her right back muscle, but in such a way that it hindered movement only marginally. Duck. Sideways step, slash, turn, fall back, slash down, duck. Stab upward, block, feint right, duck. Block, block again, du--damn. Melora stumbled again, less from clumsiness than from the momentary break of concentration that the stab had done to her shoulder. She could not tell the severity of her injury, but her right arm was limp and unusable for now. Her lightning-quick reflexes allowed her to turn her fall into a forwards roll, escaping the blade of her attacker and landing on her feet. Bleeding from two places now, she charged him. The blademaster received a deep cut in the sword arm, but it was not sufficient to disarm him and Melora paid for her boldness with a wound to her left side, just above the hip. I'm getting my ass kicked, it flashed through her mind. An ignoble end for one such as her... Hárf'er'melóra had long ceased to wonder what it was that she shared her mind with, since that dark time in the cave that her memory had blotted out. Most of the time, it seemed to leave her alone and was content to dwell in her subconscious, tucked away in a dark corner like her baser predatorial instincts. The moonlit midnight gave way to a twilight world, at once all grey and of colors that her mind could not describe. Time was slowing down, her limbs moving as if through tar. But she was in no danger; her opponent was similarly hampered. His movements were blurry, superimposed. There were two, three, a multitude of ghostly blademasters moving were one should be, copying each other's movements in a blurred trail of images. Without thinking, hárf'er'melóra gripped her dagger and rushed forward to stab the foremost of the blademasters. She felt air beneath her blade, but only for an instant. Staggering backward and coming out of her trance, Melora saw the blademaster crumpling. Her dagger, by some trick a mere blink of an eye ahead of his movements, had lodged in his throat as he moved to the place where Melora had seen him a heartbeat earlier. --- Lisha appeared to be engaged likewise in a duel with her opponent. She appeared to be faring mildly better - Melora could see only one wound, and that insignificant. Seeing the graceful dance of the two fighters whose deadly movements were more an art than a skill, she was half tempted to let them battle it out on their own. Half. A moment later, there was the hissing gasp of air being sucked in with a last breath, as the second ambusher sank to the ground. Bending over, Melora retrieved her throwing dagger and winced as the wound sent fresh lightning across her back. After her trance, the dark shadows of her eyes were still wide and gazing into the black voids as if seeing strange visions of the kind that make men mad. But - it might have been a trick of the moonlight - her grin almost looked a hint less predatorial than usual. "A debt repaid, yes?" -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

I can't count how many times I've said: "Wow, is that out? Why did no one tell me?" Seconded, though replace 'two days' with 'two months', and replace 'two weeks' with 'anythere between three and six months'. But two months ahead, you roughly know when the game is about to be released.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Wednesday, August 31 2005 02:56 Profile Homepage #10 A) Mr. C has no claim to the painting save that of discovery. I think he could be entitled to a reward for finding it, but he can't keep it if A's descendants claim it. B) 100%, possibly minus the costs of holding the auction and the reward mentioned above. That said, if he sold it knowing it was stolen, he is knowingly handling stolen goods, and should be obliged to buy back the painting at his own cost from the buyer. C) No. The intact painting would rightfully belong to A's family, but the actual theft of the painting cannot be laid at the door of B's descendants, and the damage was beyond their control or knowledge.
